He said he would describe the

how minorities are excluded in

Freeport, Kirwan said. "That's
fine, too." Home Finders Service
cotfrdinator Marilyn Margolies
said out of ten hotises she has
sold since June, two have been
purchased by Hispanics and one
to a black family.
One of the things, community
residents should do. Kirwan said,
is to tell the truth about Frceport.
If a resident must sell their home,
they should attempt to use Home
Finders or local brokers, rather
than place the listing with out-of-the-
area (Queens) brokers. If
local brokers are used, Kirwan
suggests that they be^told they,
have the listing "exclusively"
